Abstract
Recent studies have explored ways of using movies as an effective way to boost learners’ overall comprehension and listening ability. A large majority of these studies have investigated the effectiveness of using both L１and L２subtitles. The outstanding finding of most studies is that subtitles are a valuable aid for EFL learners. In addition to the presentation of information through pictures and sound, the textual support from subtitles improves learners’ overall comprehension ability by enabling them to visually confirm the heard message. In this paper, reviews of some of these current studies will be followed by a presentation of practical uses for movies in an EFL communication course.
